stop trying you will break it, there are 2 sensors, one in the brake petal which will stop working, and on in the shifter they are both common. the brake petal switch, is a stop switch, preventing the car from being engaged in a gear before a driver is ready, preventing accidents...check that one first...let me know, it is a small wire up where the brake petal meets the pivot near the wall....

On a side note there is almost always a spot on these on the center console. Its a
rectangle plug about the size of a 500mg ibuprofen pill. Its there in case the battery
is removed or dead and the vehicle needs to be moved. You remove the plug and
depress a small button with a key or screw driver to mechanically release the safety
switch to move the shifter from park.
